House pecorating Business:

A young New Orleans woman is pre-
pairing to go into the house decorating
business, and this fall will offer her SER
vices for granting woodwork, for wall
and ceiling painting, and for decorating
fireplaces. This artist recently painted a
wistaria vine in full blossom around the
frame Of a bedroom door. The vine
sprang from the molding of the wall and
clambered up the jamb, showing delicate
tendrils and clusters of bloom on both
woodwork and wall.-New Orleans Plea

john RandoIph's Court Presentation.

John Randolph, of Roanoke, dressed
very eccentrically while he was at home,
and his dress during his mission to Rus
sia was hardly more extravaganza than
that he wore at Roanoke. In writing of
it he says: my dress on presentation
to their imperial majesties was a suit of
the finest black cloth that London could
afford; and with the exception of steel
capped sword il was the dress of Mr..
Madison during the late convention" 1t
WIS., ornamented with gold shoe and knee
bu,,S les, and Randolph says that he was
as well dressed as Prince Talleyrand, who
was presented at the same time.
Josiah Quincy visited Russia some
years after this, and in his life there is
a story related concerning this presenta-
ton Of John Randolph. Says this au-
thority: "When he was presented to
the empress she put out her hand and
Randolph went down ON his knees to
take it. He wore, however, tight gaunt-
lets and he did not attempt to get these
off before he fell upon his knee. 1t was
contrary to etiquette TO touch the lady's
bare hand with a gloved hand, and it
took him so long to get his tight glove off
that her majesty smiled at his predica-
ment and the courtiers laughed out
aloud" Randolph soon took his leave
Of Russia and returned to the United
States. Before he did so he had pleas
ant interview with the emperor, and he
made remark which it is said made the
empress laugh most vociferously. He
bowed himself out backward as he left,
and cit was lucky" said he, THAT 1
happened to be near the door. Prank

Americans Eat ROO nIuch Beef.

A large proportion of our steadfast
people, who do not drink at all, ruin their
health by eating. A few years back l
took dinner with an old French wine
merchant. He had four pints of wine
set out in the snow, for it was winter.
When it came to the Burgundy l turned
my glass down, saying that it went to
my feet. NO" said the old man, II
drink wine all my life. My father kept
a hotel in Switzerland before me. came
to this country a waiter at Delmonicos,
and now / am a wine merchant. have
never had the govt in my life, but l never
eat meat more than once day. The
Americans eat too much beef. 1t makes
too much blood for them, and that brings
on the govt. p"
''What do you eat?' said l.
II eat fish and chicken and birds; light
viands. take veal in preference to beef,
as it has less blood in it. )"
Mr.. Bookwalter, of Ohio, who has been
a good deal abroad, some time ago re-
marked that he thought the intensity and
want of serenity and peacefulness in the
American nature was due to its carniv-
orous habits. Said he: Il have been
studying for some time the natural his
tory of animals, and notice that those
animals which resemble the Americans
in their avidity, their leaping at business
or breakfast in the same way, are the
meat eaters. We are carnivorous peo-
pie; and if we confined ourselves more to
farinaceous food, herbs and oils and such
things as have been approved by antiq-
uity, we would be happier race. -

The Song of Birds.

To certain extent we may take the
sounds uttered by birds and animals as
an index to their emotional condition.
If you hear a man humming an air as he
walks along, you conclude either that he
is a lunatic or that he is happy. Spon-
taneous song, whether of birds, animals
or man, is possible only when the singer
is cheerful. A pianist may of deliberate
purpose play a set piece, but he will
never successfully improvise when he is
miserable. The song of our hedge
warblers, though it of course contains
inherited elements, is essentially an i'm
provisation; it is by no means necessary
to their existence or their perpetuation.
Developed at first as an adjunct to sexual
selection, it has been extended as tho
highest exponent of pleasure of all kinds
1t begins each year in the breeding
season, but it is by no means confined to
that season Nineteenth Century.

The petroleum industry in the United
States dates from the ''fifties," the first
sale of American oil taking place in 1854.
but Abraham Schreiner, by documents
in the archives in Vienna, produced illu-
minating oil as early as 1858. He owned
a piece Of land in Boryslaw, where, in an
opening in the earth, he found a black,
tar like substance which the peasants
had used from time immemorial to heal
wounds and grease their wagon wheels.
Schreiner got the idea that the fluid IN
the clay might be employed in other
ways. He kneaded a bali from the
slime, stuck wick into it, and it burned
brightly with a red flame until the sub
stance was exhausted. This was the first
petroleum lamp.
Later, Schreiner heard something OF
disillation and determined to try few
experiments. He purchased huge kettle
and transformed it into distilling appa-
ratus as well as possible, filed it with the
black earth and placed it upon the fire
to accomplish the distllation. But that
happened more rapidly than he wished.
The petroleum exploded, the kettle was
broken into a thousand pieces, and
Schreiner's body was covered with scars.
Hardly recovered from his wounds, he
began his experiments again with
proper apparatus, into the secrets OF
which an apothecary had introduced
him. Here he was crowned with better
success. He gained product which re-
sembled strongly smelling oil, and pc
troleum was found. He filed a bottle
and sold it to a druggist in Dropobyez.
That was in the year 1858. Schreiner
was, therefore, not only the discoverer of
petroleum, but the first who introduced
it INTO commerce. Berlin Cor. New York
